When the bill was introduced. they were not just disaster vouchers for the people who were displaced from their homes by a flood in New Orleans. but even after those people no longer used the vouchers. they would remain on the books. He objected to that and we agreed to that part of his objection. We adopted an amendment that says they disappear when the people disappear. So let me put it this way: These vouchers are permanent only if 12.000 refugees from the New Orleans hurricane are permanent human beings. If they live forever. so does the voucher program. But I do not think that every recipient of elderly housing is going to be permanently with us.
